This book provides the first rounded account of the new ruling
elite of England in the century after 1066. It deals with the
revolution in landholding by which the old English aristocracy was
swept aside, and the nature of aristocratic power, as demonstrated
by the control of castles and knights, and lordship over men and
land. The book stresses the vitality of aristocratic power
throughout the period, particularly during the civil war under King
Stephen. The part played by kinship and family in building up and
extending influence are emphasised, and a separate chapter is
devoted to the crucial role played by women in the transmission of
land. The role of aristocratic benefactors in the wave of
generosity which brought great wealth to the church is also
examined and, finally, the extent to which the newcomers identified
themselves with the country they had conquered.
